EnglishWhat Is NotebookCast and What Can You Do With It?
Updated
NotebookCast is a browser-based online whiteboard you can open and use without creating an account. You click "Create WhiteBoard," share the link, and start drawing or writing with others in real time. It fits situations where you need a shared canvas immediately — a tutoring session, a quick team brainstorm, or a remote lesson — and don't want to walk anyone through a signup flow first. It runs in any modern browser and includes built-in audio and video calling.
What you can do with it
Draw and write together in real time
The whiteboard syncs instantaneously: while one person draws, everyone else sees the strokes as they happen, and multiple people can write or draw at the same time. That makes it usable for live explanation rather than turn-taking.
Talk while you work
Audio and video calls are built into the whiteboard. According to the site, there is no limit to call duration, and all guests on the whiteboard can join the call. Audio notes can also be attached to the board.
Use tools beyond a pen
The integrated toolset includes:
- Chat
- Shape drawing
- Embedded text
- Sticky notes
- Laser pointer
The site states new tools are added continuously based on user feedback, so the exact list may grow.
Save and reuse boards (with an account)
If you register for a free account and log in, your whiteboards are stored in a dashboard, and you get additional control options in the whiteboard. You can also create templates for recurring sessions and spin up as many whiteboards from a template as you need.
Who it suits
| Scenario | Why it fits |
|---|---|
| Teaching / distance learning | Real-time drawing plus unlimited audio/video, no student signup |
| Tutoring | Share a link and start immediately; save boards if you register |
| Team brainstorming | Multiple people draw at once; sticky notes and shapes for organizing |
| Recurring sessions | Templates let you reuse a board layout |
What to know before you rely on it
- No account needed to start. The site explicitly states you can begin by clicking "Create WhiteBoard" without registering.
- Saving requires an account. Without logging in, boards are not stored in a dashboard — registration is what enables saving and templates.
- Free, per the site's own FAQ. The FAQ answers "Is the whiteboard free?" with "Yes." No pricing page or payment details are indicated in the available information, so treat any future paid tier as unconfirmed.
- Browser-based. It works on any modern browser; there is no separate install described.
How to get started
- Go to notebookcast.com.
- Click Create WhiteBoard — no signup required.
- Share the generated link with the people you want on the board.
- Draw, add text, shapes, or sticky notes, and start an audio/video call from within the board if you need to talk.
- If you want the board saved or want to build templates, register for a free account and log in so it appears in your dashboard.
For help beyond the board itself, the site offers a Help center, FAQs, a changelog, and a support contact at [email protected]. The interface is available in English, Spanish, and Japanese.
